Liverpool took to Melwood as they finalised their preparations ahead of a huge Champions League clash with Bayern Munich on Tuesday night.

The Reds are back in action after an extended break, during which they visited Marbella for a warm-weather training camp.

Liverpool will be hopeful of securing a positive result against Niko Kovac's side, who have been criticised for their below-par performances this season.

However, Jurgen Klopp stressed during his pre-match press conference that Bayern will provide a stern test that his side must be ready for.

Klopp and his coaching staff led the Reds squad out on Monday afternoon, however there were concerns over the absence of Dejan Lovren and Roberto Firmino.

Lovren remains a major doubt with a hamstring injury, whilst the latter's involvement hangs in the balance after missing training due to a virus.

Despite worrying early reports, Liverpool remain hopeful that Firmino can recover in time to face the Bundesliga champions.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is not in contention for another few weeks, but was involved in training as he continues his rehabilitation journey.
